Welcome to
Simba Housing Association (Greenwich)
Working to put the needs of African Heritage Young People First.
Our Mission
We aim to provide diverse range of affordable accommodation to those in housing need, primarily from the African/African-Caribbean community. Furthermore, to provide the best possible services geared to the needs of the tenants.
Our Background
Simba began life as a subsidiary of the Simba Project but in 1995 it was registered as a standalone housing association with the express aim of providing a range of affordable housing options and services to people, primarily from the African and African-Caribbean community, in housing need.
The work we do
We believe that Simba plays a vital role by providing an essential link between mainstream housing providers and enablers and the community we serve in south east London. In essence, the fact that we are part of the very community we serve ensures that our services closely match the needs of our tenants.
Aims & Objectives
- Work in partnership with housing providers and the London Borough of Greenwich in the strategies to ensure development of viable black-led Housing Associations.
- Maintain responsive and committed housing services at reasonable cost with active tenant involvement.
- Strengthen Simba community’s special responsibility for developing procedures that will combat discrimination and disadvantage.
- Work closely with the London Borough of Greenwich and other major social housing providers in meeting the housing needs of the community in general and the African-Caribbean community in particular.
- Continue to provide Housing Plus range of services in meeting the culturally sensitive needs of the Simba Community with special emphasis on Supported Housing.
Important points
- Applicants must be aged 18-25 years, from the African Caribbean Community.
- Must have a Greenwich connection.
- They must be homeless or threatened with homelessness.
